Future Reads 2024, with Chrissy Ryan • Episode #155

We've put our 2023 reading lists behind us, and now it's time to look ahead to 2024. Who better to guide us through all the new titles coming our way than Chrissy Ryan, owner of North London's buzziest bookshop and social space, Bookbar.

New books by favourite authors, a non-fiction page-turner that will have you hooked, a high-concept potential blockbuster and a follow-up novel from the author of a debut that got people talking, we've got something for everyone.

Not to mention our tips and strategies for how to avoid feeling overwhelmed by that TBR.
